In the first part of his journey, Simon travels though Africa and finds out that some countries economies are developing due to trade from China but others are still suffering from murderous omnipotentants and chronic lack of food and good medical facilities. On the journey though Western Australia and the Northern territory, Simon finds out that the Australian farmers and people living in the outback are suffering the most dramatic change in the climate like the chronic shortness of rain and very hot temperatures.

Through different experiences that reveal out the traditions of mankind and availability of resources, this book is taking the readers to different places and subjects them the experiences that the author has felt during his journey.
